At the Parent's
My parents are visiting my brother in Steamboat tonight and tomorrow, so I'm here taking care of the dogs.
I can't believe how much better sports look in HD, I'm watching my Bulls take on the west leading Spurs, and it is kind of out of control how cool it all looks. I've found basketball pretty boring over the last decade, but the Bulls are playing some exciting basketball; it's fast-paced, high-scoring, and Derrik Rose is gunning for the MVP award this season, so it makes the sport worth watching.
I'm working at the Lyric as the head projectionist, which is fun. The quality of their presentation has always been hit or miss, but we're already getting things turned around. We have a good crew of people who want the business to do well and who are willing to put a little extra effort to make it all happen. I am really liking the job, and really liking my coworkers.
What is also great about it is that my house is 3.5 blocks away. It is so wonderful; it only takes me five minutes to walk to work! It doesn't get much better than that. I am also a 8 minute walk to the Trail Head for trivia on Wednesdays, and I'm 4 blocks from my bank, and about a ten minute walk to the Alley Cat and Algiers. It couldn't be any better. I'm living with 3 girls, one of whom is never there, in a nice house that I pay $350+ utilities for. I am so digging it. I need gas in my car now, but since I only use it once every few days, I haven't fueled up in over two weeks!
I am taking some online classes through Front Range though, which I need to do work for. It is really, really hard to get motivated for that kind of thing. Uggg...
Allie came over today, which is becoming our usual Tuesday/Thursday tradition, to play guitar. On Tuesday, she broke a string, so today we went to Mountain Music to get her some guitar supplies: a capo, new strings, a tuner, and some picks. We picked up sandwiches at Pickle Barrel, and we went and played guitar. She had to leave around 5 to do laundry, fill out some college forms, and go see her "boy" who flew into Denver tonight. I guess in a perfect world she will realize, after having been able to see us each in the same day, that maybe she isn't as "in love" with him as she may have thought. I am trying not to let it bother me, and so far it hasn't too much, I don't know how the rest of the weekend is going to go though.
Other than that, it's Stelth's birthday tomorrow and Dovekins are opening for Head for the Hills at the Aggie. I've got a birthday joke/gift plan ready to give him during the show, so that'll be fun.
Well, back to the game, and then after that I really, really need to hit this homework thing... :/
